Could not save changes

Trying to use Notes on icloud.com (the web site) on Windows, and this is my most common result when I edit or add a new note: "Could Not Save Changes"  Doesn't matter what browser I've used so far, it's very consistent.  Clearing cache, cookies, you name it makes no difference either.
The console fills up with things like this:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 421 (Unauthorized) https://setup.icloud.com/setup/ws/1/validate?clientBuildNumber=14G39&clientId=BC 9079C0-EC24-425F-BD93-496D1BA823B0

So as far as Notes goes, how can I fixed up what seems to be a messed up state?

Hi John,
If you are having an issue with saving changes to Notes in the iCloud web site, you should check to make sure that your  computer meets the system requirements for iCloud, in particular the web browser versions. See this article -
System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
Specifically -
Internet Explorer 10 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later (desktop mode only)
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Could not save changes to this script because of a program error. -2706

    OK, this is very odd! Please try the following and let me know your results:
    1) Create a new script with the following example code:
    set testList to {}
    repeat with i from 1 to 8145
    copy i to end of testList
    end repeat
    2) Save the script as an Application (name it whatever you like).
    3) Launch the newly created Application and see if you get the same error message I am getting...
        *Could not save changes to this script because of a program error.*
        -2706
    If you replace the number 8145 with 8144 (or any number less than 8145) the script runs without error. Any number greater than 8144 returns the error message shown above. Maybe there's a reason for this that I'm overlooking or is this another bug?
    I looked up error code -2706 ([HERE|http://developer.apple.com/Mac/library/documentation/AppleScript/Concept ual/AppleScriptLangGuide/reference/ASLRerrorcodes.html]) which says it is a "*Stack overflow.*"
    Thanx in advance for any insight on this!!
    NOTE:
    The only workaround I've found for this is to make sure the script resets the variable before it quits. Like this:
    set testList to {}
    repeat with i from 1 to 8145
    copy i to end of testList
    end repeat
    set testList to ""

    Hey Pierre, thanx for taking the time to scratch your head with me!
    Very odd indeed.
    Glad it's not just me that thinks this!
    I've also noticed that the problem occurs even when you try to save the script as a compiled script. That's possible as long as you haven't run the script. Once you have run it, trying to save it seems impossible. You get the message: *“The document “Document title” could not be saved.”*
    I've noticed the same thing as you and have experienced this extra error several times while trouble shooting this problem!
    On the other hand, is there any good reason for which you would want to save such a big list? Are there any drawbacks to the workaround you've found?
    I don't want to save ANY variable EVER unless I explicitly tell my script to do so! This variable is not a property, so why would my script want to save it? I haven't noticed any drawbacks to the workaround. Setting the list variable to "" or {} (or ANYthing with under 8145 items) seems to work fine. I just find it weird that my script can't "*save changes to itself*"?! What is there to save? It's just a variable that should release after my script has run ...unless I'm completely misunderstanding how variables work after ALL these years of scripting.
    Btw, the following version of the script (as you probably already know) is much faster, although it doesn't change anything to the result:
    *set testList to {}*
    *set testListRef to a reference to testList*
    *repeat with i from 1 to 8144*
    *copy i to end of testListRef*
    *end repeat*
    Yeah, it definitely runs much faster this way! I just posted a quick example that would illustrate the 8144 list count limit. My script sets a variable to a list of numbers contained in a text file. This list is almost always rather large! Right now there are over 20,000 items in this list of numbers.
    Again, thanx for your time my friend!!

    Potentially the issue may be the combination of actual distance and the presence of any Wi-Fi interference at the location of the AirPort Express that may be the culprit here. The bottom line is you would want the Express to be within a 25+ dB range of the Extreme to be sure that it can consistently stay connected to it.

  • Could not save because file is locked

    I have Photoshop CS6 and I have never had a problem with this before -
    All of a sudden I am getting an error message when saving : " Could not save…because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder."
    No other program is even open… I have quit every process I could in the Activity Monitor.
    I have tried saving as a different file name and format, I have changed permissions for the Staff option on all of file folders.
    I have even completely restarted my computer, but literally nothing has worked.
    Help!

    No anti-virus software (they cause far more problems than they solve, at least on a semi-secure network), I don't leave Bridge running. iTunes is running, so is InerTrak (time tracking software)... so it has to be Spotlight or Time Machine unless Activity Monitor will lock files. Or it could be Quicksilver, which creates indices like Spotlight.
    First thing I'm doing is adding all my hard drives to "Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations" and we'll see if this comes up again.
    Could it be the Finder? Does the Finder lock the file while reading the thumbnail?
    I'm surprised that there's no way to tell what process has locked the file.
    OK, last bit: Why doesn't Photoshop lock the file when it's open so that other programs won't open it?

  • When I close Photoshop CS6, the following message appears: "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file.

    I have checked the Sharing and Permissions section of the "Get Info" panel accessed from the Finder and I have set Read and Write Privileges for my user account for Photoshop CS6. System and Admin are also set to Read and Write.
    I have a MacBook Pro with OS X Version 10.9.5 and have all available updates for Photoshop CS6, Lightroom 5 and Bridge CS6.

  • "Could not save x.jpg because the file is already in use or was left open...

    Win 7 pro 64, CS5.0 using InDesign 7.0.4 and Photoshop 12.0.4 x64.
    Using InDesign to create a manuscript with images. Right click on image to "Edit Original"
    Opens image in Photoshop. Make changes, go to save.
    Error message "Could not save x.jpg because the file is already in use or was left open by another application"
    Using a free utility called Unlocker Assistant, it shows that the file has been locked by InDesign
    The workaround is to then use Unlocker Assistant to unlock the image in in the Links folder, but this is a pain and it is happening too frequently.
    Putting in that error message I get no google matches.
    Anyone know why Indesign is locking the image, when it is the InDesign program that is supposed to be sending it to Photoshop for editing so it can be changed and then overwrite the original image?
    Note that it is not consistent but I cannot find any pattern to determine why it sometimes fails and other times allows the altered image to be saved.

  • Photoshop CS 5.5 - "Could not save [filename] because the file is locked..........."

    Hi,
    We have a few iMacs here all running 10.8.4 - we have PhotoShop CS 5.5 and all the artwork etc is saved on a shared server ( Windows 2008 r2)   and we are forever getting these problems......
    Only in photoshop we get the following error message......
    "Could not save [filename] because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privilege. Use the 'Get info' command in the finder to unlock the file or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders"
    Can't see this been an access issue so really don't know whats causing this other than the fact it's just server based...
    Please please please somebody help.

    I have been hqving this issue on windows after I upgraded to internet explorer 10 and using outlook (hotmail.com) to attach images to an email.
    After a file saved via photoshop (i assum any programe not just photoshop will cause this problem) is attached in outlook to an email, IE10 will not let go of that file.  meaning if you update the image in Photoshop and try and save over the existing jpg you previously attached it will give this error, file locked or file permissions needed etc.
    Just posting this info incase you are using email to attach files and then getting these permisssion problems.
    I work around it by closing the outlook browser tab (the email), so it lets go of the file, I can then save ontop of the file no problem, I then open outlook as needed.

  • InD blocking Ps to save a file / Could not save * because the file is already in use error

    Many users have reported a  Photoshop Could not save * because the file is already in use error in many different circumstances.
    I place raw jpgs in InDesign document, then open them in Photoshop via Edit original order to adjust them. On random occasions Ps gives me that annoying error. So i found a little trick to avoid saving that image under a different name and relinking it plus reloading Ps since the error repeats on other pictures to.
    All you have to do is: when Ps gives error, (Cmd-Tab) switch to InD, directly select the worked jpg in image frame (one that you try to save in Ps)  and simply move it left-right (or move it and Undo). Now you can save it without problem.

    JPEG is a "lossy" compression format. Every time you save as jpeg you recompress and throw away a little more information. In addition, jpeg does not support transparency or layers, both very useful features for woring with images. For example, you can add an adjustment layer in Photoshop to do your adjustments non-destructively for may of the things that you can do using Image > Adjustments... which will change your pixel data permanently. Throw away an adjustment layer and you image data is untouched. Also, ID allows you to place a layered image and control layer visibility from within ID, making it possible to multi-purpose a single file by showing or hiding various layers.

  • Cannot save as PDF - "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use..."

    I have a number of PSD files I've created and I'm trying to save them as PDFs.
    I can Save for Web and Devices, I can save as a .gif, .eps., and every other format I've tested, but I cannot save as a PDF. I get the error:
    "Could not save a copy as (filename) because the file is already in use or was left open by another application."
    I'm running Adobe Master Collection CS5 with Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.0.4 x64) on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.
    I have a 928 GB HD with 697 GB free.
    I have rebooted and tried saving the files immediately after I reboot. I have killed my virus scanner. I have killed a number of other possible culprits including Acrotray.exe and CS5ServiceManager.ext
    I have run Process Explorer as recommended by Microsoft and found no applications using the file. I've also tried saving the file to my external hard drive and/or renaming the file with only rare luck.
    Nothing seems to fix it.
    The boards seem to suggest Adobe isn't taking responsibility for this and pointing it back to the OS or other software. I'm willing to believe them if someone can show me how/where to kill whatever process it is - but at this point, all my indicators point back to Photoshop.

    Here is a clip from a past post where user could not drag and drop files to hard drive.
    To my great relief I have now sorted this issue and offer the following as the Correct Answer. My sincere and grateful thanks go to Curt and Yammer, above, who have helped me so much in sorting this Windows 7 issue which is clearly very relevant to Bridge users also. Any slowness to grasp what they have been saying is down to me!
    The key to solving this issue lies is understanding that in terms of Windows 7 Security, every internal or external hard drive, plus folders, sub-folders and files thereon has an OWNER. Also each OWNER has a certain level of PERMISSION to do things such as moving files to a different folder, deleting or re-naming them etc. If you try to do things that you don't currently have Permission to do, that is when you get an ‘Access Denied’ error message. Also your system has an Admistrator or Administrators and at the outset you need to ensure through the Control Panel that you are listed as one of them. .
    If, like me, you didn't realise these things, (and why would you if Microsoft or your computer or hard drive suppliers couldn't be bothered to really make sure you knew about them), then trying to fathom the ‘Access Denied’ problem becomes a stressful and frustrating nightmare as I can testify having spent a week at it!
    The steps that I took to resolve the issue and which I believe now constitute the 'Correct Answer' are as follows:
    First make sure that you have Administrator rights on your system via the Control Panel
    Next ‘right click’ on the Drive whose files you want to gain full access to, for example the drive that your pictures are stored on, and click on 'Properties'.
    Under the Security tab you will see a list of Groups and Users on this drive and the Permissions that they have to do things.
    Before doing anything to edit these Permissions, first click on the Advanced button. This opens another window with a tab showing the Owner of this drive.
    Click on the Owner tab and if you are not already listed as the owner, make yourself the owner by selecting your name from the list. I believe it should appear there if you are an admistrator or user. (In my case at this stage the owner was initially shown as an obscure string of numbers and letters which I believe identified the drive when it was connected to the lap top I was using before I upgraded my machine)
    Now be sure to check the box that says "Replace Owner on Subcontainers and Objects" and the click Apply. On completion of this step, the drive in question and all the folders, subfolders and files thereon should now be 'owned' by you. You could check this out by right clicking on a particular folder then clicking Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner. Your name should appear. So far so simples!
    Now go back to the Security Tab for your drive (Step 2 / 3 above) and look at the Permissions you currently have. Your aim now is to allow yourself 'Full Control.' If you don’t currently have this level of permission click Edit, select your name on the list, check ‘Full Control’ and 'Apply' the change.
    I think I'm right in saying that at this point whilst still working in the Drive directory you are now given the option of ticking boxes which allow you to, in effect, cascade the permission you have just granted yourself to all the files and folders on that drive. Tick the box to allow this and Windows should then take care of the rest.If I'm not quite correct here then in my particular case, for example, all my images were stored on my external drive. The top level, or 'parent' folder in which all my pictures could be found was the 'My Pictures' folder and I had created a number of folders and subfolders ('child ' folders) within that folder. The permissions I gave to the Parent folder – My Pictures – were cascaded down through the Child folders.
    On completion of the above step I tested the result in Windows Explorer by dragging a few files back and forth between folders and it now worked perfectly - I was now able to move / delete / rename etc all files without now getting the dreaded access denied message. What a sense of relief! This meant that I could now open Bridge normally rather than having to right click it and 'Run As Admistrator' - albeit that is a very useful thing to do until you get the problem sorted as described.

  • "Could not save a copy because the file is already in use..."

    I have read previous discussions of this issue, but nobody suggested a solution. Sometimes when I use the Save As command to save an open file with the same name as an existing Photoshop file that is not currently open, I get the dreaded message: "Could not save a copy because the file is already in use or was left open."
    When this happens, I have to save my open file using a different filename, then change the name in the Finder after manually deleting the original file with that name. This happened occasionally in Photoshop CS3, and is now happening more frequently in CS4. If no one can offer a solution, can someone please tell me if there is a way to officially submit a bug report? The simple truth is that Photoshop costs way too much for a well-known problem like this one to be hanging around version after version. Adobe really needs to fix this and I'd like to tell them so. Thanks!

    I've run into this and I'm convinced it's not Adobe. Whenever I've gotten around the problem it's often something from Apple that got in the way.
    I use a simple workaround when Finder/QuickLook isn't letting go of the file. First use a free utility like TinkerTool or Onyx to turn on the Quit command in the Finder. Whenever the Finder gives you trouble, if closing the Finder window in question doesn't solve it, just do the ol' Command-Q. It's a little faster (and maybe safer?) than force-relaunching the Finder. This usually releases files for me when all else fails; it also often cures the annoying "can't eject the volume because it's in use" messages when you've already quit every program you can find.
    There's the question of why Photoshop and not others; I'm not an engineer but I think the sheer size of Photoshop files is a factor. In one instance I noticed that quicklookd was using a lot of RAM, and QuickLook has been implicated by an earlier post in this thread. It isn't unusual for a Photoshop file to be very large compared to other types of documents. It's possible that when QuickLook hits a large Photoshop file, and it does its normal thing of generating a big preview for it, it could get tied up reading that huge image long enough to block another program. Sometimes it seems like QuickLook just hangs on them. When it happens, you can try looking at Activity Monitor to see if something like QuickLook, Spotlight, or some other program is using an unusual amount of CPU or RAM.
    Apple Mail (at least in 10.5) is another major offender by the way. If you attach a file to Apple Mail it will hang on to it as "open" even after you remove the attachment. Other programs will not be able to write to the file that was attached or formerly attached. Nothing short of quitting Apple Mail will make it let go of the file. You'll notice it when you delete a JPEG, PDF, Word doc (definitely not just Photoshop) attachment because you realize you need to make a change and attach it again. Attempting to export an updated one over the old one is blocked until Apple Mail is quit.
    In my experience I think what Chris says is true.

    There is a problem with both Photoshop and InDesign, then we can blame wich ever it is.
    1. I open a .psd file in Photoshop CS4 by double clicking it in Bridge
    2. This image is placed on a page in a open InDesign document.
    3. Doing some changes in Photoshop on the image.
    4. Trying to save and get this error message (this topics subject)
    5. Deleting the image from the page in ID doc, it is the only one in the document.
    6. Can't still save file.
    7. Closing ID completely and now I am able to save the file.
    I tried turning of Live preflight in Indegisn but that didn't help.
    So probably the fault is InDesign or the MacOS. I didn't have this problem with CS3. It is a stupid problem because this type of workflow is pretty common and one would expect it to be solved by now.

  • Could not save....because the file is already in use or was left open

    I have been using PS since V5 and have never experienced this problem which continues to crop up in PSCS3. I get this stupid error message "Could not save....because the file is already in use or was left open." Even if I save as a new file which does not exist anywhere in the galaxy, I will get the same &^%$!! message. I have gone to the folders and made sure read only was unchecked in properties. I have lots of disk space and four gigs of high-end RAM. This is particularly frustrating when you are using this software to make a living and a fifteen minute project becomes a 45 minute project. I like everything about CS3 but want to pull my hair out by the roots when I pay for the best photo editing software available and it continues to screw me out of money. Adobe, are you out there? Can anyone help???
    Thanks

    Same error intermittently on different files. Windows7 64bit CS4. Saving a file in Photoshop - working from local hard drive - and got the file in use can not save error. We tried changing the name, saving as a different file type with no success. I closed absolutely every application that was running and then stopped all non windows processes from Task Manager and still file in use.
    I was finally able to save by choosing "NONE" for the preview instead of Tiff 8-bit in the save options.
    The bug is in Photoshop and it is putting a file lock on the preview file that it creates and then not alowing any save with the preview option checked.
    After saving without a preview we could close PS and reopen then open the saved file and resave with the preview selected. Closing PS unlocked the preview file.

  • 'Could not save because access was not granted'

    I have just changed to iMac from a pc.
    On the pc I had two LaCie external hard drives containing all my photos. When I connected them up to my Mac, all the photos were there and I was able to edit them but the problem arose when I tried to save them. When I tried to 'save or save as', even using a different file name I am getting the 'could not save because access was not granted' message. The same message pops up even when trying to save something generated in Photoshop and not taken from the external hard drive.
    I went into Applications and Disk Utility but it appears the 'hard drives cannot be written to' and the SMART status is not supported, whatever that might mean!
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, possibly your EHD need to be Mac formatted.
    If you have formatted them right click on the Icon then select Get Info. On the very bottom of the Get Info window there is a section for Permissions. You need to Unlock (needs your password) and hit the + sign, from there choose YOUR name & Allow "Read Write" - See if that helps..
    If the EHD are NOT Mac formatted you will need to transfer everything from one EHD to the other then format the empty drive:- Applications ->Utilities ->Disk Utility -> Hilite Erase (top of window) Mac Extended..After that send everything back to the Formatted drive & do the same to the second drive..Finally Repair Permissions on YOUR Mac Main HD & Verify Disk on the EHD's-after that All should be good..........L
